Hello, thanks for the query. Madam, hypothyroidism is a hormone (thyroxine) deficiency disorder. It means your thyroid gland is not able to secrete adequate quantity of the said hormone. Since this hormone is essential for many vital metabolic activities and normal functioning of brain, it has to be supplemented every day and that too for lifetime. Tsh level is normal because you are taking adequate supplement of levothyroxine. The moment you stop taking the the hormone supplement, tsh will go up and all the symptoms of hypothyroidism will return. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
